Hello. I feel compelled to offer a few thoughts on my new FREESCORES friend, Francois Pavil...a talented, creative musician, composer and arranger, and a great family man. His compositions are full of life and span a range of styles demonstrating his capabilities. Victor at Freescores has developed a site where resourceful musicians like Francois, in France, and me in America, can converse, exchange musical ideas, and trade....compositions for performances....I know of no other site on the internet that affords musicicians this opportunuity. I look forward to Francois' next composition, be it for woodwinds or any combination of instruments that he would write for.....his music is pensive, enjoyable to play, has a great groove and you should listen to all his works. I am humbled by his words about my performance of his music, and proud to count Francois among my new-found FREESCORES friends. Enjoy his music and hopefully my renditions of his great works.
The Xaphoon, often referred to as a "pocket saxophone," is a unique wind instrument developed in the 1970s by Brian Wittman in Maui, Hawaii. This compact instrument combines the qualities of a clarinet and a saxophone, yet it is much smaller and made either from bamboo or plastic. The Xaphoon offers a distinct, rich sound that belies its size, making it a favorite among traveling musicians and those looking for a portable, yet expressive instrument.
Musically,
